Vitor Pereira's Porto will aim to maintain their perfect start to their Champions League campaign against Oleg Blokhin's Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.

Despite losing star asset Hulk to Zenit St Petersburg at the start of the campaign, the Portuguese champions have made a blistering start on all fronts and will be looking to put the Ukrainians to the sword for a second time - after their 3-2 victory at the Estadio do Dragao in the last round of matches.

Hulk's replacement Jackson Martinez has been key to Porto's fine form, the Columbian scoring 12 goals in 13 games so far, including two in Porto's 5-0 thumping of Maritimo last Friday. He and his compatriot James Rodriguez - who continues to be linked to with Manchester United - will pose a real threat to a Kiev side who know that defeat on Tuesday will, realistically, put their Champions League dreams to bed for another year.

Runners-up domestically last season, Kiev have made an indifferent start this time round. However, they enter Tuesday's game on the back of a 2-0 win against SC Tavriya Simferopol 2-0 on Saturday - a victory that ended a run of four matches without a win in all competitions - their worst sequence since August 2010.

Kiev currently lie third in Group A with three points: their only victory so far coming in a 2-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb on matchday two. They lost either side of that win, however, to Porto (3-2) and Paris Saint-Germain (4-1).
